Having already considered the second person, the Son and the questions that arise for me, i proceed to consider the holy spirit.

what is spirit- again history will tell how it came to be used as a word and what it signifies.
But my guestion is, what is the spirit as one of the persons in one God. do we use the word person here in the same sense as we use the word person to refer to the individual entity that makes this particular wo/man what s/he to be what s/he is?

Could it be that the refference is metaphorical- for we know God as absolute spirit and not physical. But who again said that? Maybe God spirit is more that what the word spirit signifies. can we attribute physicalness to God?

What will prevent me from thinking of God as the all in all- the totality. He is all that is physical, all that holds the physical together- the dynamism in matter and all that trascends that. S/he/It is all that is immanent and trascendent- and our use of the word spirit as we understand it is our desire to capture such a complex reality!
